Minute Meditations

One day, when Anthony came down from the tree to join the other friars for lunch, he became seriously ill.

If we are made in God’s spirit, then our first “church” were the bodies given to us.

Throughout this messy, sweet, chaotic, precious time we have together, we’ll tell each other the best thing, the only thing that really matters: “I love you.”

Each path Francis took on his journey to God led him to a single action: praise of God.

Will you choose to live with less so you can love more? Will you trust that joy is not something to chase but something to welcome in the present moment? 

We cannot find peace in chaos. In the noise and violence that surround us in this country every day, covering our ears and eyes is easy.
